Default Cant run game

I've installed the game,

put it to a different folder "eqemu" as suggested. extracted all the patch files and going to run titaniumeq and NOT everquest.exe

Its giving me the error that windows cannot find eqgame, but its there in the folder.

Any ideas?

Cheers

try
Quote:
making a shortcut of the Titanium bat, then added Patchme at the end of the target line
or
Quote:
make a shortcut to eqgame.exe (right click create shortcut) and add patchme to the end of the Target line of the shortcut's properties.
something like this.
C:\your_everquest_directory_\eqgame.exe patchme

It may help to set eqgame.exe compatibility to WinXP SP2 or SP3. I use SP3.
Let us know if either or neither of these work for you. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I ran the launch titanium right from the folder and it seemed to work.

I logged into the game and everytime i camp out it crashes. Is that normal as well? And the graphics were super poor. now I know the graphics weren't top notch back then, but this doesn't seem normal. I will grab a screen shot

Can you confirm if you tried the compatibility change on eqgame.exe please

The reason I ask, is it has solved the crash on camp for some people. For reasons.

Ok I made a short cut to eqgame.exe and added patchme at the end.

I used the shortcut and it loaded the game fine and I logged in.

The graphics now seem normal, it was nighttime when I said they looked bad so maybe that was the reason?

When I camped out, it gave me the crash error again.

Use Imgur to host images (only allowed external image site on P99)
Then for example use img tags [ img]https://i.imgur.com/6ubNd0D.gif[ /img] minus the spaces inside the brackets.

You know whats super weird.

When I look at the screen shot they look normal, but it differs on my actual screen. The darkness is like a dark blue with lines in it.

Oh well.... maybe its barbarian eyes lol.

They're using a custom UI

Edit:my mistake, I miss-read your post. What monitor are you using?
Some monitors have trouble with gradients and thus cause weird lines on flat gradient skys, fogs and such.
